Knurls and Divisions

In the Shop – ITS04

Another lunch spent exploring the shop with my camera. It is definitely helping me push through the day when everything else seems to be conspiring against me. This is from our gauge inspection room. I decided to go with a lomography look to help enhance the details of the knurling and divisions. It darkened the background and changed the overall color tone away from the bright yellows found in the room.

I had such a good time the other day exploring the shop where I work during lunch I thought the bits and pieces I find would make a good project. I’m going to go with In the Shop as the name of this series. At least I know I will have less excuses for using the camera during lunch. 🙂

I decided it was better for me to go playing around the bone yard at work during lunch than go out and spend money. Yesterday was not the greatest of days but during lunch the rain had stopped and the overcast skies produced some nice soft light. Here is some of the interesting stuff I found…

Opportunity Details

Over the weekend there were issues at work that I had to deal with. It doesn’t happen often so I don’t mind having to spend some of the weekend on unplanned activities. The difficult part is when the weekend was as nice as last weekend was. The price you have to pay I guess. Plus, I rationalized it even further by remembering that my vacation starts this coming weekend and working must have been the down payment… 🙂

While I was waiting for an electrician to arrive I grabbed the Olympus camera and played around in the equipment scrap heap out behind the building. I could have spent all day out there! So many details to capture. Every step revealed more images to capture. These are a few of my favorites.
